Where is the highest airport in the USA? At an elevation of 9,927 feet the Leadville Airport (KLXV) is the highest airport in the United States. Leadville claims a number of "highest" honors and is also the highest incorporated city in the United States. Where is the highest airport in the world? The top 2 highest airports are in Tibet with another expected to open in 2010. As mentioned, Bangda airport in eastern Tibet, is the highest. It actually lies higher than the 14,100 feet posted earlier at 15,548 feet above sea level/MSL. It relegated Lhasa airport (at 14,315 feet MSL) in Tibet's capital to second place among the world's highest airports. http://www.infoplease.com/askeds/highest-airport-world.html

Lake County - Leadville Airport is the highest airport in North America and the third highest in the world. Two higher airports exist in the South American Andean Mountains. This "highest" distinction is very important because the performance of an aircraft (ability to take off and climb well) deteriorates rapidly with altitude. In fact, many aircraft are operating above their manufacturer's specification altitudes when flying in Leadville.
